[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Phones?

[Valiant8086]

another one I think may be interesting is the Unihertz Titan Pocket, a 
QWERTY Android smartphone. It is just coming out and runs Android 11 with a 
physical keyboard and smaller touch screen. It does have a lower end 
processor so will be a little slow, but it might be the ticket for some.
